La Tene's album Ecorcha/Taillée, released by Les Disques Bongo Joe, is a captivating and immersive musical journey that combines traditional folk elements with experimental soundscapes. With its unique blend of ancient and modern influences, this album offers a truly mesmerizing listening experience.

Ecorcha/Taillée showcases La Tene's mastery of traditional instruments such as the hurdy-gurdy, violin, and bagpipes, which are skillfully intertwined with electronic textures and ambient drones. The result is a rich tapestry of sound that transports the listener to another time and place.

The album opens with the hauntingly beautiful track "Ecorcha," where delicate melodies played on the hurdy-gurdy intertwine with ethereal vocals. This sets the tone for the rest of the album, which seamlessly transitions between moments of tranquility and intensity.

Tracks like "Taillée" showcase La Tene's ability to create hypnotic rhythms using repetitive patterns on traditional instruments. The combination of pulsating beats and intricate melodies creates a sense of urgency and momentum that keeps the listener engaged throughout.

Ecorcha/Taillée also features collaborations with other talented musicians, adding further depth to the already rich sonic landscape. These collaborations bring together different musical traditions and create a truly unique fusion of styles.

Overall, Ecorcha/Taillée is an extraordinary album that pushes the boundaries of traditional folk music while remaining rooted in its origins. Its captivating melodies, intricate arrangements, and experimental soundscapes make it a must-have for fans of both traditional and avant-garde music.
